Chapter 28 The Thirty-fourth Star
Chen Jiuyang’s star map suddenly lit up from the twenty-seventh star to the thirty-fourth, pushing his cultivation to the eighth level of Martial Dao Red Dust Immortal!
As long as the 'Curse' was completely refined, he could directly step into the lowest realm of the Thirty-Six Tribulation Immortal King!
The 'Curse' had nine major powers: Cursing People, Cursing Immortals, Cursing Gods, Cursing Buddhas, Cursing Ghosts, Cursing Daos, Cursing Artifacts, Cursing Objects, and Cursing Souls!
Except for Cursing Objects and Cursing Souls, the remaining seven major 'Curse' powers were refined by Chen Jiuyang through 'Erosion Dao Without Trace'.
The vast and majestic Dao power made Chen Jiuyang's strength completely different!
At the same time, he was secretly shocked by how terrifying the origin Dao of the 'Curse' was…
The figure of the strange beautiful woman was gradually dissipating. Looking at Chen Jiuyang, she let out a chilling ghostly laugh, "My lord, since you have absorbed my Dao power, you must find a way to get out of here alive."
A moment later, the strange beautiful woman vanished into nothingness.
However, after Chen Jiuyang refined the 'Curse', he could feel that the strange beautiful woman had not completely dissipated. In the unseen realm, the Dao power of Cursing Objects and Cursing Souls within and outside the entire village had not been refined, preventing Chen Jiuyang's 'Curse' origin Dao from being complete.
This 'Curse' could 'curse' everything except heaven and earth.
However, due to the suppression of other origin Daos within the ghost village, Chen Jiuyang could not immediately detect the whereabouts of the Dao power of Cursing Objects and Cursing Souls.
His actions had also disrupted the original balance within the ghost village!
He instantly became the target of attack for other origin Daos within the ghost village.
At least two powers of origin Daos descended upon him, causing Chen Jiuyang's expression to change drastically. He immediately said in a deep voice, "'Forget' 'Self'!"
In an instant, a surge of majestic Dao power erupted.
The powers of the two origin Daos were instantly blinded. Various shadows, monsters, and Dao powers froze in place, in a daze.
Chen Jiuyang immediately stepped out of the ghost sedan. Although the eerie Buddha statue in his hand was shattered and its light was about to extinguish at any moment, it could still protect Chen Jiuyang from being swallowed by the darkness.
Chen Jiuyang waved his hand, immediately stopping the power of 'Chaos', and approached the hand servant and the substitute ghost. "Stop, pretend nothing happened."
"Yes, my lord." The hand servant and the substitute ghost immediately stopped their scolding and sat obediently at the table.
When the 'Chaos' stopped, the eerie figures that were about to climb into the coffin began to return to the banquet tables one after another.
Chen Jiuyang occupied a strange position, and an eerie figure with a ferocious, dark hand reached out towards Chen Jiuyang, as if to corrupt him.
Seeing this eerie figure attack him, Chen Jiuyang's expression did not change at all. He decided to test the power of the 'Curse' and said, "'Curse'!"
A strange, inexplicable, and terrifying power descended upon the eerie figure. The eerie figure immediately developed pustules, revealing a terrified expression that resembled a 'human'. Its Dao power began to collapse and annihilate…
Then it exploded and disappeared…
In just the time it took for a single breath, a Dao ghost comparable to an Emperor realm with complete origin Dao was annihilated.
"Hiss!" The hand servant and Zhang Gen were both frightened by Chen Jiuyang's power.
Immediately after, the boundless darkness receded…
A chilling, bone-chilling ghost voice sounded, "The groom is here!"
Outside the village, a chilling, trembling aura was slowly moving…
Zhang Gen's burial suit began to burn again, and he hurriedly urged the hand servant, "Quickly light the candle!"
The hand servant gritted his teeth, "This is the last one in stock!"
Then he lit the large candle, and its faint light instantly enveloped the two people. Zhang Gen's burial suit returned to normal and stopped burning.
"There are too many eerie things here. I don't know what rule we might touch that would get us killed!" The hand servant's cold sweat kept flowing.
Zhang Gen was also horrified, "I've never heard of these eerie things gathering together before."
The powers of origin Daos were incompatible with each other. Each Dao ghost had its own rules for killing people, so Dao ghosts never gathered together.
The hand servant looked at Chen Jiuyang and said, "My lord, it's too unsafe here. Leaving is the best course of action!"
"No need to panic, let's observe the situation first," Chen Jiuyang said calmly. "My business here is not finished, and I will protect you."
Chen Jiuyang would not leave this ghost village until he obtained the Dao power of Cursing Objects and Cursing Souls, and he could also observe…
Wu Shuang'er, as the chess piece for the final game, bore the traces of the previous eight transcendents. Her appearance here indicated that there was likely a trace of a transcendent left here.
In the final game, each person's way of transcending was different…
Chen Jiuyang could sense the Dao power of Cursing Objects and Cursing Souls within this village, but he couldn't pinpoint their exact location at the moment.
He asked, "What is the great secret you mentioned earlier?"
The hand servant was an exceptionally intelligent subordinate and would not speak without reason.
The hand servant swallowed and said, "My lord, there is an invisible house here…"
"An invisible house?" Chen Jiuyang's eyelids twitched.
A house that even a Martial Dao Red Dust Immortal like him couldn't see? No wonder he and Zhang Gen couldn't find this hand servant when they searched earlier.
"Continue."
The hand servant continued, "Inside, there is a broken Emperor Artifact and a letter…"
Chen Jiuyang's eyelids twitched violently, "A broken Emperor Artifact?"
The small immortal realm was almost destroyed, and not many people could resist the erosion of Dao ghosts. Those who survived were the imperial clans and the major sects that possessed Emperor Artifacts.
Chen Jiuyang had long suspected that Emperor Artifacts possessed a part of the power of heaven. Although heaven and earth were in chaos, it did not mean that heaven and earth had disappeared. Therefore, Emperor Artifacts had become the only type of weapon that could directly resist and suppress Dao ghosts.
Emperor Artifacts were now strategic resources, with only a few hundred in the world. To have a broken Emperor Artifact in this small ghost village was a matter of great significance.
Chen Jiuyang asked in a deep voice, "How are you sure it's an Emperor Artifact?"
The hand servant said, "There is clear residual imperial might of a Great Emperor there, as well as a letter personally written by a Great Emperor. I only took a glance, but I couldn't take it away with my strength."
Chen Jiuyang asked again, "Can you still enter that invisible room?"
The hand servant shook his head, "That invisible room completely disappeared after the ghost bride appeared."
Chen Jiuyang's heart sank. The appearance of a human Great Emperor here, with an Emperor Artifact broken here, was no small matter.
Chen Jiuyang asked, "What did the letter say?"
The hand servant said word for word, "If ten thousand ghosts walk at night, humanity will not be able to produce Great Emperors. Everything has been calculated and destined, and it is impossible to break free…"
Chen Jiuyang asked again, "Which Great Emperor left this message?"
The hand servant said, "Great Emperor Qinggu…"
